Up to 10,000 members of the public are set to take part in the National Lottery Anniversary Run on July 21 in one of a series of events to welcome people back to the Olympic Park a year after the Games.

There is also a 2km family fun run for up to 2,000 children and adults. The site is reopening in phases as the newly-named Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park from July. It is to be fully open by spring 2014.

Olympic 5,000m and 10,000m champion Mo Farah said he had great memories of competing in the stadium and was looking forward to running alongside friends and family there.

Places cost £27.50 for the individual event or £7 for the family fun run. The tickets include two places for friends or family to sit in the stadium and cheer the runners on.
